Efficacy of Cabazitaxel in Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Is Independent of the Presence of AR-V7 in Circulating Tumor Cells  Wendy Onstenk, Anieta M.

2 Fig. 1 Study flow chart showing the selection of patients for the analyses. Cq=cycle threshold for quantification; CTC=circulating tumor cell. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2015 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Waterfall plots of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses to cabazitaxel treatment (A) after 12 wk and (B) at the end of treatment. The dashed lines represent 30% and 50% decreases in PSA level relative to the baseline level. No differences in PSA responses were observed between AR-V7–positive and AR-V7–negative patients. Sequential PSA values from three patients were missing (two AR-V7 positive and one negative). One AR-V7–positive patient discontinued treatment after two cycles of cabazitaxel and was not included in the analysis for PSA response after 12 wk. The AR-V7–negative patient was still undergoing treatment and thus was included only in the analysis for the PSA response after 12 wk. CTC=circulating tumor cell; PSA=prostate specific antigen. * Patients who were treated with abiraterone before cabazitaxel.

4 Fig. 3 (A) Progression-free survival and (B) overall survival as a function of AR-V7 in circulating tumor cells at baseline. The reported p value is from a log-rank test. AR-V7 =androgen receptor splice variant 7; CI=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2015 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
